About this title

Synopsis

When Polly hears her father whistling for the first time since her mother's death five years earlier, she fears he is interested in Lydia Wilds, a widow she doesn't trust. A year and a half later, Polly discovers her father has taken Mrs. Wilds to the Dye cottage for a week, along with his parents and some other family members.

Polly feels betrayed and angry that her father has kept his relationship with Mrs. Wilds a secret. The guiding motivation of Polly's life has been her promise given at her mother's deathbed to help her father raise the children. She assumed if she remained single, her father would never remarry. How could she bear it if he brought another woman into her mother's house? Especially a woman she doesn't trust.

• Will Polly's promise to her mother keep her from finding love?
• Will Bob Dye marry Lydia Wilds in spite of Polly's fears?
• Will Sarah's legacy and Polly's relationship with God help her survive the storms that rise to test her faith?

About the Author

Later, Daisy pursued certification as a pastoral counselor with the NCCA and ordination with the NCCC with whom she served for many years. Daisy and Donn were also missionaries to Japan with One Mission Society, with whom they are still affiliated, and led the Japan Prayer Initiative. Researching the history of their home in Sandy Lake, PA, in 1998 led to beginning a historical novel inspired by the lives of former residents of their home in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 2014, Daisy published her first book, Homespun Faith, an autobiographical devotional, and then completed the first book in the Sarah's Legacy series in 2017, the second in 2019.
